Haha. Fair enough. I was thinking it was on TV somehwere or something. International basketball is a totally different game to the NBA. It's like two completely different sports.



It's like basketball with guys that can shoot. The NBA is more broadway production tbh. But I still love it.

Haha. Yeah definitely. My only problem is they shoot too many threes and jumpers and there isn't enough dribble penetration or driving. But the ball movement and execution is great.

But in the NBA there is way too much ISO, terrible fundamentals and not enough cutting, screening etc. It's just pick & roll or isolation plays. Nowhere near enough ball movement. And then teams like the Warriors, Suns etc play mickey mouse basketball with a bunch of guards and small forwards and no big men and just jack up shots without playing D. That isn't basketball.

But like you I still love the NBA.

I'm amazed they're showing all of those games. I may watch one here or there but preseason games are terrible to watch.

Starters play 15-20 minutes and are playing at 1/10th of their actual game pace and intensity and even the key bench players play the same.

Pre season games are just glorified summer league games really. You can't take much, if anything, out of them.

Still, can't wait for the regular season to start. Only a few more weeks now.
